For lunch, we had meatballs (a Sichuan specialty, soup made with bean curds, sauerkraut, mushrooms, and sliced ​​meat). My dad recommended the beans early in the morning. It was originally for old man Jiang. He loves to eat them at home.

Who knew he would go out early in the morning, so my dad simply made meaty bean curds and let me eat them, because I love eating meat.

The meat and bean curds are very delicious. The authentic rice cakes made from farmers and sea peppers (crushed sea peppers and added with vegetable oil), paired with the smooth and tender bean curds, were spicy enough to make me exhale, but so fragrant that I couldn’t stop using my chopsticks and ate two big ones.

After a bowl of rice and three bowls of soup, I was satisfied.

I put down my chopsticks and went to see my mother again. My mother was recovering well. My father specially stewed some chicken soup for her to replenish her health. My sister and I are now sensible and won’t be as noisy as we were when we were children.

It’s time to eat chicken.

I obediently lay next to my mother and watched her finish drinking the chicken soup and then just roll into her arms and act like a baby.

"Old Chen, it's better now. The second sister's matter has been solved, the child is fine, and the third baby can stay with us until she is 15 years old. I feel very comfortable." Although my mother is still a little weak,

But his complexion was good after all. Compared with the haggardness of the past few days, it was completely different.

"That's good. I think our three children should have a great future. I always feel that Master Jiang's status is definitely extraordinary." My dad pulled my mom to his side and leaned against him, letting me roll around on top of her.

Go and talk to my mother.

"Why is it not ordinary?" My mother obviously didn't think much about it.

My dad glanced at me and didn't answer, but at this moment, the sound of crispy pork rang at the door of my courtyard.

Su Rou is such a loyal guy. Ever since what happened to my second sister, many people in the village have intentionally or unintentionally avoided coming to my house. Although they came quietly to come up with ideas at first, they couldn't stop being afraid.

Even this kid Su Rou, regardless of his mother's worries, runs towards my house every three days to come and play with me.

I put on my shoes and ran out in a hurry. A few days ago, I didn't have the mood to play because of my second sister's affairs. Su Rou came to me, and I just said a few words and passed away. I have to talk to him today.

Have fun.

Seeing me running out in high spirits, Su Rou was shocked. In the past few days, was there a day when I wasn't disgraced?

"Is your second sister's affairs okay?" Surou is indeed my best friend and he understands me very well.

I patted the fat on his belly and said: "Okay, okay, everything is fine. Where should we go to play this time? Otherwise, let's steal Liu Chunyan's chicken and eat it."

?”

After the second sister's matter was resolved, of course I remembered the "deep hatred" between Liu Chunyan and I, and immediately came up with a bad idea.

"I'm not going today. Let's go to the farm later. Let me tell you, something good happened. By the way, why didn't you come to school yesterday?" Surou obviously didn't want to steal chicken today, so he mentioned the farm and asked by the way.

Why didn't I go to school yesterday?

I almost blurted out that Master and I were going to do something, but I still didn’t say it. The reason was very simple. I thought that my original image in Su Rou’s heart was that of a heroic Red Army soldier, but now I turned into a Taoist priest. It ruined my image.

, so I dealt with it by chatting, but I was very interested in what he said about the good things in the countryside, so I asked: "What good things are happening in the countryside? Tell me quickly, otherwise I will be on the tiger bench."

, pepper water is on the way.”

"Hey, you don't know. Bamboo is being chopped at the rural farm. My mother and I went to the rural market this morning and found out." Surou said hurriedly.

"Go, go, go, what did I think? Is it fresh to chop bamboo? There is a small bamboo forest in front of me. I will go home and get a knife for you, and you go and chop it? Really, just tell me, do you want to go with me?

I went to Liu Chunyan's house and stole her chicken." I disdain the good thing of crispy meat. Even cutting bamboo has become a good thing, so this good thing happens every day.

"Hey, listen to what I'm saying. That's not cutting down one or two bamboos. It's cutting down a whole forest of bamboo. I don't know what's going on. It's not strange to say that you're getting points for cutting bamboo.

What's strange is that there are so many snakes in the bamboo forest." Su Rou chattered.

"Snake? It's strange that there are no snakes in the bamboo forest!" I yelled. Who among the rural children has never seen a snake? We also know that snakes usually exist in shady places like bamboo forests, but there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

It feels like I am reminded of the bamboo forest where I stayed that night.

"Why are you so anxious? Snakes are not fresh. Many people were planning to catch them and eat them, but they were stopped by the officials in the countryside. I heard that the People's Liberation Army was also coming. I also heard about it." Surou suddenly lowered his voice.

sound.

I heard that the People's Liberation Army was already in a state of excitement, but when I heard Surou said that there was something else, I became anxious and asked quickly: "What?"

"I heard that there is a big snake, such a big snake. This time when cutting bamboo, I had to dig out all the bamboo roots. Somehow, there was a big snake underground, and the snake's head was as big as a bamboo skip."

Gestures.

My face looked ugly, but I said: "Just brag, feel free to brag, did you see it?"

"I didn't see it, haha." Surou scratched the back of his head and laughed. The fat on his face pushed up, making his eyes squint. He looked extremely honest and honest, but he continued: "

But in the morning, the people who dug bamboo came to talk about it. Now it is spreading all over the countryside. Anyway, the smuggler came out first. Several officers of the People's Liberation Army saw him, and they immediately drove him away, saying that he would wait for a while.

Let people in again."

I believed it eighty-nine percent in my heart. This guy Su Rou seemed to be honest, but he was actually talking about cheating. But he didn’t fool me. I finally asked the question I had always wanted to ask: "Su Rou, you are talking about hometown."

Where is the bamboo forest on the field?"

"Oh, I heard that the bamboo forest is next to a cemetery. Not many people go there on weekdays. Fortunately, no one goes there, otherwise the big snake won't eat it. Let me tell you." Su Rou's mouth moved up and down quickly.

I was flipping through it and kept talking. As soon as I heard about it, my heart skipped a beat.

Big snake!! Not only did I hit a ghost a few days ago, but I also slept on a big snake. Damn it. Am I destined to be lucky? Or am I destined to be lucky?

"Sanwa'er, Sanwa'er" Su Rou saw that I was in a daze and didn't respond to him, so he kept calling me next to me.

"What's wrong?" I suddenly came to my senses and asked pretending to be fine.

"Did you hear what I said just now? I also heard that a stone gate was dug out, the one near the cemetery." Surou said very seriously.

When I heard this, I realized that I had missed such important information when I was in a daze, so I said: "You guys want me to go to the countryside with you to watch the fun, right? Come on, let's go right now."

"Okay, I've brought all the dry food!" Surou said quickly, his fat body trembling with excitement.

"What kind of dry food?" When I heard that there was something to eat, I got excited.

"Look." Su Rou took out a cloth bag from his arms. When he opened it, there were boiled potatoes that were almost mushy due to his fat body.

"Forget it, you can eat it." I really had no interest in those shapeless boiled potatoes, so I went in and said hello to my parents before going out.

After running around like crazy with Surou, we didn’t realize how long the road to Xiangchang was. We arrived at Xiangchang just after two o’clock in the afternoon. But strangely, the normally bustling Xiangchang looked very busy.

quiet.

"Look, what I said is true, everyone in the village has gone to dig bamboo in the bamboo forest." Su Rou felt a little proud.

"Yeah." When I mentioned this, I had something on my mind, so I answered perfunctorily.

"But where should we go to this bamboo forest? Sanwa'er, do you know?" Surou is usually like this. If you have no idea, you will ask me.

"Where are you going? Just follow me, I'm very familiar with it." I answered casually. Only after I said it did I realize that this was not an omission.

"Sanwa'er, how did you know?" Sure enough, Surou asked immediately.

Su Rou is my best friend. In fact, I don’t want to lie to him. After hesitating for a long time, I asked Su Rou: “Su Rou, are you my good brother?”

"Nonsense, our relationship is just like that between Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang!" Su Rou slapped his chest loudly.

"What's the relationship between them?" It's really new. It's the first time I heard that Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang are related.

"They are all fighting heroes! Of course, between heroes, of course, they are all on the same side anyway." Surou is indeed a master of bullshit!

Come on, you are still a fighting hero. I am destined to be a Taoist priest. I am too lazy to talk to Surou. I said solemnly: "Surou, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

Su Rou was startled by my seriousness, and after a while he said: "I didn't believe it before, but now I do, isn't it your second sister's business? I'll take care of that."

Su Rou was afraid that I would be angry, so he said it carefully. Moreover, the social atmosphere at that time meant that rural children who had seen a lot of strange things since childhood were not allowed to talk about superstitious content.

"Well, my second sister is obsessed with ghosts. Anyway, for this reason, I went to the bamboo forest you mentioned. Do you believe me or not?" I asked, looking at the crispy pork.

"Have you seen it?" Su Rou looked horrified.

"Yes, I've seen it before." I was very calm. After seeing it too much, I didn't feel anything at all. Besides, I had a cheap master to protect me.

"What's it like?" Surou's face turned pale.

"It's just like that, not a green-faced one with fangs." I didn't want to scare Su Rou, so I said it lightly.

Surou let out a long breath, patted his chest, looking like he was in shock, and then asked: "Sanwa'er, what's going on, can you tell me?"

I had an intuition that I couldn't go into detail about this matter, so I could only say: "Anyway, I'm just looking for someone to help exorcise ghosts. What's there to say? My second sister is fine now, but you have to keep it a secret!"

"I will keep it strictly confidential and won't tell anyone." Su Rou absolutely accepted this statement. As a rural child, no one has ever heard of asking someone to exorcise ghosts, even if they couldn't see it with their own eyes at that time.

I trust Surou very much, and he is willing to keep it a secret unless someone threatens him with food. But his parents will never ask about this, let alone threaten him with food.

"Then let's go to the bamboo forest!" I waved my hand and said loudly, saying it to Su Rou, and I felt much more relaxed. In fact, what I couldn't have expected was that this statement was destined to be Su Rou.
Chapter completed!
